Super Dragon Ball Z (Japanese: (スーパー)ドラゴンボールZ, Hepburn: Sūpā Doragon Bōru Zetto) is a cel-shaded 3D fighting video game, based on the Japanese manga series Dragon Ball created by Akira Toriyama. It was released in Japanese (December 22, 2005) and European (2006) arcades running on System 256 hardware, and later for the PlayStation 2 (Japan: June 29, 2006; US, July 18, 2006; PAL, July 28, 2006). The game was developed by Arika and Crafts & Meister, headed by Noritaka Funamizu (a former Capcom fighting game producer who worked on the Street Fighter series and Darkstalkers). The game features 18 playable characters, destructible environments, and a game engine geared towards fans of more traditional fighting games.

The game sold 95,082 units in the first week of its release in Japan, ranking at #2 in software sales in Japan for that week, second to Nintendo's New Super Mario Bros. The game sold 370,000 global copies.
